I'd like to add small firm logo (contains some text) to my drawing.
I have it in Inkscape (with Display units and Units (in Document Properties) set to mm). I know Inkscape much less than LibreCAD now.
When I save it in Inkscape as dxf (I have to set Base unit (he asks before saveing as dxf) to px (not mm) to see it in scale when I open it with LibreCAD (here I have also everything in mm) ????) then in LibreCAD I see only stroke (not filled contours).
I can fill each element in LibreCAD but it works badly for elements with whole inside (letters R, a, o, e).
So I decided to insert it via png. Specially that Letters were converted to shapes long time ago (not with Inkscape) and have many,many points so png is 19 times smaller file than dxf, and I don't know yet how to reduce this points with Inkscape.
I have png with 600dpi and 284x341 pxl which is the right size.
When I File|Import|Insert Image it to my drawing it looks well but it is 284x341mm in size and I didn't found the way to reduce it, but as LibreCAD is not raster graphic program I don't expect it can do it.
How to import png or bmp to have it the right size?
